Wild Magnolias are in Danger 
  
More than half of the world's magnolia species are close to extinction in the wild, according to a new report from Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and Fauna and Flora International. The study identifies 131 wild magnolias in danger of extinction, from a global total of 245 species. "We now have a choice," said Sara Oldfield, secretary general of BGCI and one of the report's authors. "We can use the new information to conserve these important trees and restore their forest habitats or we can catalogue their extinction."
